Author Description

Grand Intimation is a novel about the often deadly clash between pagan and Christian religions and cultures. Set in Nigeria, Nkese and Mark, a wife and husband, endure forced separation and loss of freedom when they are enslaved by other cultures. Nkese is born into a traditional Christian home, but has an ancestral heritage of deity worship. A white missionary brings with him death and destruction when his opposition to Nkese's deity worship results in her family's extermination. Mark is born into a traditional family and becomes a seminarian. He abandons his priestly calling to marry Nkese, and later finds out about his wife's complicated past when she becomes possessed at a pagan ritual. Grand Intimation is a story of human spirituality, strong ties to ancestral roots, and about the human condition and redemption. The book ends on a suspenseful note, leaving readers wanting more.
